Very often, life is like the bald parrot. I’m often like the dog.

this will be making an appearnace in a link salad in the near future – so true (for me I mean).
This sums up my day wonderfully, with the dog representing me and the parrot representing clients, insurers, colleagues and most of the wider community.
I think it’s beer o’clock.
Glad to be of service, lads.
The dog’s lucky: it can just run the fuck away.
But in the spirit-squashing corporate miasma that I live in, the parrot is paying the dog to put up with its shit.
If this picture was truly representational of human life, the expression on the dog would be different. It would be a mixture of feigned interest, thinly veiled disgust and a protective alcoholic haze.
Dan, your world is weird.
